Not true. That's only the fallback mechanism.

  <sim>
      <flaps>
          <setting>0</setting>
          <setting>1</setting>
          <setting>5</setting>
          <setting>15</setting>
          <setting>20</setting>
          <setting>25</setting>
          <setting>30</setting>
      </flaps>
  </sim>

Maybe you need to normalize that to a range of 0-1. Also see
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/A320/A320-set.xml, which aircraft seems to be
the only one using this method.
